Singer Kendrick Lamar is excited to meet singer-songwriter Lorde and musician James Blake at the forthcoming Grammy Awards.

The 26-year-old rapper is impressed by teenage singer, Lorde for making a mark in the international music industry, reported Contactmusic.

"I am most excited to meet Lorde. I'm really feeling 'Royals'. And I want to see James Blake," he said.

Kendrick has been nominated for eight Grammys and says he finds it amazing when he hears people sing his lyrics back to him in other countries.

"When people are rapping your verse to you in the UK, it lets you know how big of an influence you have. But you still have to show your face (in Compton) and give back," he said.
